THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS MAY BE MODIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION GENERAL LEGAL, PARAGRAPH iv, Modification of Terms, GOVERN USE OF THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE READ ALL TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE OR PURCHASING PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM RL. Your use of this website or purchase of any product or service from RL constitutes acceptance of these Terms by you ("User" or "Customer").

Legal Age Requirement

Wines may be sold and delivered only to a person who is at least 21 years old. Customer represents that: (1) Customer is at least 21 years old; and (2) the person to whom any wine will be delivered is also 21 years old. At the time of delivery, any domestic U.S. shipment arranged by RL containing an alcohol beverage product will require the signature of an adult possessing identification proving he or she is at least 21 years old. Further U.S. law requires that no delivery shall be made to a visibly intoxicated person.

Confirmation of Purchase

For wine currently available for purchase, Customer may order online, over the phone, or by sending an email. However, no order shall be considered confirmed until Customer has fully paid by credit card. Other forms of payment include wire transfer, cashier’s check, money order, cash, or PayPal. Any form of payment other than credit card will require an invoice or written confirmation from RL to secure/guarantee the purchase.

Passing of Title of ownership to Customer

Title (ownership) of a wine purchase is transferred from RL to the Customer when the purchase has been fulfilled to Customer's account by warehouse operations. "Fulfilled" means that the ownership transfer has been recorded in the RL accounting system and that the customer has access to that information in their account at www.rlliquidassets.com.

Ground/Air Shipments – Title is transferred when the wine is in the possession of the carrier and a tracking number has been generated.

Pickups – Title is transferred when the customer has left the warehouse with the wine in their possession.

Hand deliveries – Title is transferred when the customer takes possession of the wine. Should the recipient of the delivery be someone other than the person that directly purchased the wine, RL must have a commitment in writing that releases the wine to the appointed recipient. RL will not be liable for any lost or damaged goods after the title has changed hands to the appointed recipient.

Please note: Unless Customer has already obtained wine insurance coverage through his/her insurer or elects optional insurance from RL, WINE IS NOT INSURED ONCE IT IS FULFILLED.

Pre-arrival guarantee

It may occur that RL is unable to deliver the quantity or bottle sizes originally sold to a Customer. From the date an invoice is produced for the Customer, RL guarantees it will attempt to repurchase the wine from another source, including at its own greater cost (up to 25% over the retail price paid by Customer) to fulfill its commitment to Customer. If after three months from initiating its search, RL has not purchased the wine from another source, RL will refund the purchase price plus 25% (net of any applicable sales tax) which shall complete its obligation to Customer. If, however, Customer wishes to cancel the order prior to the foregoing three-month period without waiting for a replacement to be found, the refund will be for the original amount paid (i.e., without any premium added or cancellation fee applied).

Condition of goods

While RL shall make a diligent effort (including physical inspection) to assess the condition of any wine it sells, it is not possible to know the complete provenance of every wine, especially older vintages. However, RL provide a 100% return policy within 90 days of the invoice date for all purchases that are returned in the condition in which the wine was purchased. This excludes wine that has been opened, stored improperly, shipped in conditions of excess heat or cold, label tears, stains, and bin scuffing. In addition, RL will, upon request, share the known information on provenance and condition with Customer as a consideration in Customer's decision to purchase a wine.

Sales Tax:

RL Liquid Assets charges sales tax on products purchased and shipped, delivered or otherwise transferred to a Customer within the state of California. RL may charge additional sales tax if the tax rate changes between the date the order is placed and the fulfillment date. Tax rates are calculated base on the delivery address zip code.

RL does not charge sales tax on freight charges paid by Customers, but is required to charge sales tax on handling fees and packaging materials for orders shipped within the state of California.

Price Changes & Availability

All prices associated with wine offers to Customer, whether through the website, email, or other means, are subject to change without notice. Availability of wine is subject to RL purchased stock or such lesser amount as RL may decide. RL is not responsible for typographical errors or technology malfunctions and reserves the right to correct any errors in pricing without penalty to RL or Customer. RL also reserves the right to set minimum and maximum purchase quantities and to rescind order which violates such rules without penalty.

Occasionally, computer system issues, human errors, process faults, or other causes result in unintentional offers appearing on our website. RL reserves the right to correct such unintentional offers and to rescind any orders which may have been placed that are associated with them by refunding the Customer's money. Unintentional offers include, without limitation, offers of wine for sale that RL does not have in stock or on pre-arrival, offers at incorrect prices and misestimates of pre-arrival dates.

Wholesale Customers

RL maintains an active California wholesale license. If you have a California wine retailer license and wish to purchase wine from us, please contact Customer Service so that we obtain necessary information to set up your account appropriately.

Disclaimers/Limitations of Liability
